I don't consider myself to be an expert, but have acquired some
familiarity over the last few years. OS X doesn't put any of those
configuration files [.bash_profile, etc.] in a user directory. If
they are advanced enough to need it, they are assumed to be advanced
enough to copy the original or system level default. So [at least on
OS X 10.2 - 10.4] .xinitrc would be cribbed from /etc/X11/xinit/
xinitrc. I haven't yet had access to Leopard to see what's going on
there. However, the OP didn't give specifics, so we don't know if
there was a spelling error. BTW, on OS X /etc [and similar
directories] are hidden from the GUI by default, so Terminal newbies
might get frustrated learning about typos exploring here.
